Line 1: {{refimprove\|date=June 2016}} '''Robotic [[non-destructive testing]]''' (NDT) is a method of inspection used to assess the [[structural integrity]] of petroleum, natural gas, and water installations. Crawler-based robotic tools are commonly used for in-line inspection (ILI) applications in [[Pipeline transport\|pipelines]] that cannot be inspected using traditional [[Pigging#Intelligent pigging\|intelligent pigging tools]] (or unpiggable pipelines). Robotic [[non-destructive testing\|NDT]] tools can also be used for mandatory inspections in inhospitable areas (e.g., tank interiors, subsea petroleum installations) to minimize danger to human inspectors, as these tools are operated remotely by a trained technician or NDT analyst. These systems transmit data and commands via either a wire (typically called an umbilical cable or tether) or wirelessly (in the case of battery-powered tetherless crawlers). == Applications ==
